Eggdrop Networking Setup

This page gives on overview over the most common networking situations between users and Eggdrop and how to edit the config settings for them.
The following are the most common scenarios:

Standard Eggdrop Shell, User behind NAT

Overview

This is the most common situation for shell or server owners. The settings are as follows:

Settings

Do NOT set: nat-ip, my-ip, my-hostname, vhost4, vhost6, listen-addr.

If the server has multiple vhosts available and you want Eggdrop to use one:

Eggdrop1.6: Set my-ip to its IP.
Eggdrop1.8: Set vhost4 and listen-addr to its IP.

Getting DCC Chat to work

/ctcp <botnick> chat

Standard Eggdrop Shell, User not behind NAT

This might be a common situation where only one computer in the network has direct internet access.

Settings

Do NOT set: nat-ip, my-ip, my-hostname, vhost4, vhost6, listen-addr.

If the server has multiple vhosts available and you want Eggdrop to use one:

Eggdrop1.6: Set my-ip to its IP.
Eggdrop1.8: Set vhost4 and listen-addr to its IP.

Getting DCC Chat to work

/ctcp <botnick> chat

or

/dcc chat <botnick>

Eggdrop in the local network, single user

This situation is, when you have a server at home with eggdrop on it, and it is connected to the same router as you and on the local network. You are the only person who needs to get onto the partyline.
